Celtic Holiday Parks, Pembrokeshire in administration as buyer sought
A buyer is now being sought for Celtic Holiday Parks, which operates luxury sites in the south of the county.
The sites at Noble Court Holiday Park, Narberth and Meadow House Holiday Park, Amroth will continue to trade as normal, with employees retained, the administrators have stated.
Celtic Holiday Parks was set up in 2003, with Huw Pendleton as the managing director of the family business since that time.
Recent years have seen investment of around £6m across Celtic Holiday Parks, which offer a range of top-quality accommodation including static caravans, luxury lodges and glamping options with touring and tenting pitches, as well as leisure facilities.

In 2020, the company received a six-figure loan from HSBC to fund an additional 54 holiday homes across the sites. This was secured as a part of the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme [CBLIS].
In 2022, Mr Pendleton received an award for 'outstanding contribution to the UK tourism industry' and accolades for Celtic Holiday Parks have included 'best caravan and camping parks in Pembrokeshire' and 'luxry accommodation provider of the year South Wales'.

Use our map to see if your bank is one of 41 branches set to close in July
There are 41 banks scheduled to close in July and the vast majority (38) are branches of Santander - use our map below to see if your local is closing Dozens of banks are set to shut in July as the wave of summer closures continues - check if you're about to lose your local branch. There are 41 banks scheduled to close in July. The vast majority (38) are branches of Santander. That follows the banking giant's announcement earlier this year that it was shutting 95 branches from June. Some 85 banks shuttered in June, and 69 in May. Another 13 banks are scheduled to close in August and 21 in September. It means that by the end of this year alone, 364 banks will have been lost from the high street. Last year, 399 banks closed, and in 2023, 633 branches shuttered. The latest closures impact every region of England as well as Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales. Cornwall will be hit hardest by the latest round of closures, with four branches set to shut this month. You can find out if any branches are due to close near you in July using our interactive map. Since a voluntary agreement saw the major banking groups commit to assessing the impact of every closure in February 2022, 1,879 bank branches have shut or announced their intention to close. That's an average of around 50 closures announced per month or 12 per week. The LINK initiative to assess the impact of closures - which was agreed by all the major banks including Barclays, HSBC, Natwest, Lloyds, and Halifax - was set up to ensure vulnerable customers and small businesses were not left behind in the switch to cashless payments and virtual banking. When closures leave communities without any local bank, banking hubs or free ATMs are set up to fill the gap.
